Random Commuter Thoughts - Part I
Between the car radio, the coffee shop and CVS this morning, I heard three different covers of "Frosty the Snowman." I hate "Frosty the Snowman."
When I become Emperor of the World, one of the first items on my agenda is going to be a reform of Christmas music. Frosty'll be one of the first against the wall.
UPDATE: In the comments, INDCent Bill tasks me. He tasks me. So be it:
"Frosty the Snowman" - BLAM!
"Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer" - BLAM!
"Jingle Bells" - BLAM!
"The Twelve Days of Christmas" - BLAM!
"I Wonder As I Wander" - BLAM! BLAM! BLAM!.....BLAM!
"White Christmas" sung by anyone other than Bing - BLAM!
"It's Beginning to Look A Lot Like Christmas" - BLAM!
"A Chipmunk Christmas" - BUDDABUDDABUDDABUDDA.....
"Here Comes Santa Claus" - BLAM!
Cher singing "O Holy Night" - BLAM! BLAM! BLAM!
All Holiday Medleys - BLAM!
and just to be inclusive, "The Dreidel Song" (Second verse? Same as the first!) - BLAM!
UPDATE DEUX: The Misspent One links with his list of five favorite Christmas carols just by way of yinging my yang or yanging my ying or sumpfin. As a matter of fact, these are amongst my favorites as well. But I was saving that shoe to drop in another post.

And this is BEFORE you even take power and get corrupted. What would go then, White Christmas?
Stalinist Llamas.

The Little Drummer Boy gets two in the hat from me. Pa rumpa pum BLAM BLAM!
Human rights? When did we talk a good game about human rights?

Posted by: jen at December 1, 2004 10:30 AM...I feel guilty in that I agree with you on at least half of those titles. (You know we're gonna end up in a special kind of hell where it's Christmas every day of the year, right?)

God I hate that "song".
Posted by: Matt Navarre at December 1, 2004 02:57 PMYou don't mean the version of Jingle Bells sung by the dogs, do you? That's a classic!
Although I wouldn't cry if you included Holly Jolly Christmas. That is so annoying.
